I will paraphrase after it's done

Ron Rivera: talked about his journey to becoming a head coach: weve heard it before

Ron on Training camp: missed out on about 1500 snaps missed on OTA's and mini camps, but they feel like they got them back during TC and were at where they would have liked to have been by the time camp let out.

Ron on Cam: wants people to "realize that he's a talented football player, and person... But his commitment to what ^He wants to become, which is an NFL QB is tremendous! He's putting in a lot of time and effort into developing, and the coaches mike Shula and Rob Chudzinski has been Outstanding with the young man... The thing that we can't forget is that this is a new system, so Cam's not the only one learning to do what we do. There's 10 other guys on the field that have to be on the same page as him. So what we saw with Cam was the beginning of an EVOLUTION that's a learning process. The young mans a Tremendous football player and u gotta give him a lot if credit for what ^He did on Sunday, but you know, let's don't forget the playmakers... Steve Smithhad a Tremendous game, our tight ends really stepped up big time, our offensive line protected and gave him some time to find those guys downfield, so what you saw was really like I said the Evolution of our offense."

Then they asked about the tats and piercings that JR said to Cam...

Ron responds: Cam's a really good young person... No big deal "non-issue"

Thoughts on GB RR says: ^"He watched the Saints game... Pretty dog gone good football team. Looked like they hadn't lost a step since SuperBowl. Also said Saints looked pretty dog gone explosive as well. It's tough on the defenses. Either u have to have somin special to stop them or you have to be able to outscore them"

You may be able to find the whole interview @ Facebook.com/otl

My thoughts on it: great interview. Expect U's to try and outscore the Packers this weekend. I'm sure he'd like to stop their offense, but it definitely sounded as though ^He put emphasis on " or outscore them"

He loves Cam, u can just tell by the way He talks about him. There won't be any "we'll just let him manage games as a rookie until He has his feet" it seems more like RR already knows Cam can handle it, I think he's putting the ball in his hands to win games, as opposed to Babying him. Cam is dat deal!

It's amazing to hear and see his face as He talks about Cam... Crazy! I'm loving it!!!

I kept rewinding my DVR and typing this from my phone so that the quotes would be accurate!

Thanks for putting forth the effort to write this up TCF. That must've been hard! I appreciate the recap and I'm liking what we have in Rivera and Newton. It's refreshing to have a coach who can talk openly to the media and the fans. And it's exciting to have a superstar in the making in Cam Newton.

Exciting times to be a panther fan these days. (if you allow yourself to be excited!)

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
